Vietnam has been a popular destination for travelers from all around the world, including citizens of Russia. The good news is that the Vietnamese National Assembly recently approved amendments to the Law of Foreigners’ Entry into, Exit from, Transit through, and Residence in Vietnam. These changes bring exciting updates to the visa regulations for Russian citizens visiting Vietnam. Starting from August 15, 2023, citizens of Russia will be eligible for an extended visa waiver period of 45 days, surpassing the previous limit of 15 days.
Longer Visa Waiver Period
Under the new amendments, citizens of Russia can now enjoy an extended stay in Vietnam without the need for a visa. The unilateral visa waiver scheme offered by Vietnam has been extended to 45 days. This means that Russian visitors can explore the beauty of Vietnam, immerse themselves in its rich culture, and create unforgettable memories for an extended period of time.
Easy Entry with E-Visas
In addition to the extended visa waiver period, citizens of Russia also have the option to apply for an e-visa if they wish to stay in Vietnam for more than 45 days. The e-visa allows for a convenient and hassle-free entry into the country. With the recent amendments, the validity of e-visas granted to foreigners entering Vietnam has been extended to 90 days. This means that Russian citizens can now enjoy a longer stay in Vietnam with a single entry or multiple entries, making it even more convenient for those planning to explore the diverse landscapes and vibrant cities of Vietnam.
How to Apply for an E-Visa
Applying for an e-visa is a straightforward process that can be completed online. Russian citizens can easily access the Vietnamese government’s official website to submit their application. The website provides clear instructions and guidelines on how to complete the application form, upload the necessary documents, and make the required payment. Once the application is approved, the e-visa will be issued electronically, allowing for a smooth entry into Vietnam.
